Chapter 14
Emily's POV
The bubble popped when everyone had their feet firmly planted on the ground. The island was a small, floating landmass, with a few coconut trees, and Serena's palace. It was pink with silver and gold windows. Francine and Chrissy brought us inside the beautiful palace, and on the inside, we saw many rooms, each filled with a special furniture series, either from GracieGrace, or from a special character, like Pave, who gives you furniture on certain holidays. The twin rabbits led us past a room filled with the mushroom furniture series, and up the long and wide staircase, and then we were standing outside Serena's bedroom.
"Wait here, you guys," Chrissy instructed, as Francine was opening the door. "We'll just be one second." They went inside, and closed the door, leaving us to tap our feet and daydream. We all stared at each other, and yet we were completely silent.

Michelle's POV
We stood out here for what felt like hours, though it was only mere minutes, until Francine finally poked her head out.
"Serena will see you now!" she said, smiling sweetly as she waved us inside, before quickly closing the door again. Serena's bedroom was about the size of a penthouse, and it was full of the princess furniture series. We stood there in awe for a moment, before Francine led us to Serena, who was sitting at her vanity, looking at us through her bright, shiny mirror as Chrissy combed her fur.
"Hello there!" she greeted us, giving a small wave. She blinked a few times when she saw me.
"Oh, Princess Michelle! I'm surprised to see you!" she said. "I didn't know you left home. I hope you've been doing well."
"I have," I replied with a small nod. "Thanks for seeing us today. I know you're really busy, so we're sorry to bother you."

Emily's POV
"Of course! You're not a bother at all," Serena replied, getting up. "Francine and Chrissy have told me about your dilemma, with both of your towns. I've heard other cases, but-" She looked down, and next to her was Bob, who was gazing up at her, with the expression that was similar to that of a little kid in a candy store.
"You're so pretty..." he said, drooling. Serena giggled and rolled her eyes.
"Anyway," she said, turning our attention to a tall, rectangular, rhinestone mirror. "There's something I need to show you. It seems as though Navine has placed more curses on your towns." An image of Meltokio appeared in the mirror. Weeds were infesting the town, with all of the trees chopped down, and cockroaches running amok.
"Oh no she didn't," Bob gasped.
"Oh yes she did," Serena said to him. The image then changed to that of Azura. It looked like a huge hurricane had hit the place, with trees chopped down, wilted flowers, and buildings destroyed.
"That's horrible!" Rosie exclaimed. "I can't believe this!"
"Won't you help us, Serena?" I pleaded. "This can't keep happening!"
"I know, but," Serena said, sighing and looking at the floor. "I...I can't help you guys."
"What? Why not?" Lucy asked.
"M-My wand..." she responded."Navine has stolen my wand. She has it."
